Introduction

The church stands on an elevated site formerly occupied by a Norman structure
which was demolished to allow for re-building on the same site. It consists of a chancel and
nave, with vestry, north porch and a bell turret containing one bell.

The current church was built in 1857-8 by the architect George Shaw of Saddleworth at the expense
of H Bridgeman-Simpson of Babworth Hall. Steetley stone was used to construct
the church in Decorated style. Shaw also provided the stained glass, except
for the east window depicting the Transfiguration which is by J R Thompson
of Southwark.
